We're a US startup building consumer apps that help college students find housing. We're looking for an AI-native video creator to own all of our AI video work: product launches, feature showcases, brand commercials and social ads.
Think Apple-style rollout videos. Real student life on camera, like moving into a first apartment, finding the right roommate, or a phone lighting up with good news, with product features woven in cleanly.
This role starts part time (20 hrs/week). If it goes well, it grows into full time with higher pay and ownership of our whole video and creative output.
WHAT YOU'LL MAKE
- Hero commercials (15, 30 and 60 seconds) for product launches
- Feature spots that each show one product feature
- Vertical cutdowns for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, plus 16:9 and 1:1 versions
- Ad variants for testing on a regular cadence
- Brand and social video across more than one product
HOW YOU'LL MAKE IT
- AI video generation: Higgsfield (Cinema Studio, Soul ID, Marketing Studio), Google Veo 3.1 / Flow, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, Runway Gen-4.5
- Keeping characters consistent across shots and campaigns
- Compositing real app screens into AI footage so phones and laptops show the actual product
- Editing, pacing, sound design, music and kinetic typography (CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci, plus After Effects)
- AI voiceover and lip sync (ElevenLabs, HeyGen or similar) when needed
YOU'RE A FIT IF YOU
- Have a portfolio of AI-generated commercials or product videos that look premium, not "AI slop"
- Know which model to use for which shot and why
- Can turn a short brief into your own shot list and prompts
- Keep up with new tools every month and bring them to us before we ask
- Have a clean, restrained eye: natural light, real-feeling people, typography that breathes
- Communicate clearly in English and give updates without being chased
NICE TO HAVE
- Consumer app, real estate or student-focused brand experience
- Basic motion design or 3D (Blender, Spline)
- Performance ad experience (hook testing, variant builds)
GROWTH
- Start at 20 hrs/week
- Path to full time with a raise once volume and quality are proven
- Room to lead creative direction across our products
DETAILS
- Tool subscriptions are paid by us
- 2 to 3 hours of overlap with US Eastern mornings
- All work is owned by the company. You'll sign a confidentiality and IP assignment agreement.
- No real people's likeness, no copyrighted music or footage, and only tools whose terms allow commercial use
- Shortlisted applicants complete a short paid trial ($60)
HOW TO APPLY
1. Start your application with the words "Cinema Studio" so we know you read this.
2. Send 3 links to AI video work you made. For each one, tell us which tools you used and what you did yourself.
3. Answer these questions:
a. For your best piece, which AI tools did you use and what did you do yourself?
b. What new AI video tool are you excited about right now?
c. What hours are you available (USA time)? Open to full time later?
Applications without portfolio links won't be reviewed.
